In particular, the present invention relates to compoundsfor use as therapeutic agents for the treatment and/or prevention ofproliferative diseases, such as cancer. The present invention alsorelates to processes for the preparation of these compounds, and topharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cancer is caused by uncontrolled and unregulated cellular proliferation.Precisely what causes a cell to become malignant and proliferate in anuncontrolled and unregulated manner has been the focus of intenseresearch over recent decades. This research has led to the targeting ofsurveillance mechanisms, such as those responsible for regulating thecell cycle, with anticancer agents. For example, published patentapplication WO 2009/103966 (CANCER RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY LIMITED) relatesto the inhibition of checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) kinase function, withbicyclylaryl-aryl-amine compounds, in the treatment of cancer.

The main role of the cell cycle is to enable error-free DNA replication,chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. Surveillance mechanisms, theso-called checkpoint pathways, monitor passage through mitosis atseveral stages. One of the best characterised is the spindle assemblycheckpoint that prevents anaphase onset until the appropriate tensionand attachment across kinetochores is achieved (HARDWICK KG, 1998, “Thespindle checkpoint”, Trends Genet 14, 1-4). The majority of proteinsinvolved in the checkpoint exert their functions through protein bindinginteractions with the involvement of only a small number of kinases(MUSACCHIO A et al, 2007, “The spindle-assembly checkpoint in space andtime”, Nature Reviews, Molecular and Cell Biology, 8, 379-393). Amitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) that contains three checkpoint proteins(Mad2, BubR1/Mad3, Bub3) and the APC/C co-factor, CDC20, concentrates atthe kinetochores and acts as a spindle checkpoint effector. Other coreproteins required to amplify the checkpoint signal include Mad1 and thekinases Bub1, Mps1 (also known as TTK) and Aurora-B (MUSACCHIO,referenced above).

One of the first components of the spindle assembly checkpoint signal,identified by a genetic screen in budding yeast, was dubbed Mps1(monopolar spindle 1) for the monopolar spindles produced by Mps1 mutantcells (WEISS E, 1996, “The Saccharomyces cerevisiae spindle pole bodyduplication gene MPS1 is part of a mitotic checkpoint”, J Cell Biol 132,111-123), however, it still remains one of the least studied checkpointcomponents in higher eukaryotes. Subsequently, the Mps1 gene was shownto encode an essential dual-specificity kinase (LAUZE et al, 1995,“Yeast spindle pole body duplication gene MPS1 encodes an essential dualspecificity protein kinase”, EMBO J 14, 1655-1663 and also POCH et al,1994, “RPK1, an essential yeast protein kinase involved in theregulation of the onset of mitosis, shows homology to mammaliandual-specificity kinases”, Mol Gen Genet 243, 641-653) conserved fromyeast to humans (MILLS et al, 1992, “Expression of TTK, a novel humanprotein kinase, is associated with cell proliferation”, J Biol Chem 267,16000-16006). Mps1 activity peaks at the G₂/M transition and is enhancedupon activation of the spindle checkpoint with nocodazole (STUCKE et al,2002, “Human Mps1 kinase is required for the spindle assembly checkpointbut not for centrosome duplication”, EMBO J 21, 1723-1732 and also LIUet al, 2003, “Human MPS1 kinase is required for mitotic arrest inducedby the loss of CENP-E from kinetochores”, Mol Biol Cell 14, 1638-1651).The autophosphorylation of Mps1 at Thr676 in the activation loop hasbeen identified and is essential for Mps1 function (MATTISON et al,2007, “Mps1 activation loop autophosphorylation enhances kinaseactivity”, J Biol Chem 282, 30553-30561).

Given the importance of Mps1 in spindle checkpoint activation, thedevelopment of Mps1 inhibitors would be an asset, not only as a tool tofurther investigate its cell cycle-related functions, but also as a formof anticancer treatment. The first generation inhibitors of Mps1 havebeen described. Cincreasin, caused chromosome mis-segregation and deathin yeast cells (DORER et al, 2005, “A small-molecule inhibitor of Mps1blocks the spindle-checkpoint response to a lack of tension on mitoticchromosomes”, Curr Biol 15, 1070-1076) and SP600125, a JNK (c-Junamino-terminal kinase) inhibitor, also disrupts spindle checkpointfunction in a JNK-independent manner via the inhibition of Mps1 (SCHMIDTet al, 2005, “Ablation of the spindle assembly checkpoint by a compoundtargeting Mps1”, EMBO Rep 6, 866-872). Recently, three small moleculeinhibitors of Mps1 were identified (KWIATOWSKI et al, 2010,“Small-molecule kinase inhibitors provide insight into Mps1 cell cyclefunction”, Nat Chem Biol 6, 359-368; HEWITT et al, 2010, “Sustained Mps1activity is required in mitosis to recruit O-Mad2 to the Mad1-C-Mad2core complex”, J Cell Biol 190, 25-34; and SANTAGUIDA et al, 2010,“Dissecting the role of MPS1 in chromosome biorientation and the spindlecheckpoint through the small molecule inhibitor reversine”, J Cell Biol190, 73-87). Chemical inhibition of Mps1 induced premature mitotic exit,gross aneuploidy and death to human cancer cell lines (KWIATOWSKI,above). Mps1 inhibitors AZ3146 and reversine, severely impairedrecruitment of Mad1, Mad2 and CENP-E to kinetochores (HEWITT, andSANTAGUIDA, above).

Dysregulation of the mitotic checkpoint is recognised as a feature ofthe malignant transformation process. Mitotic checkpoint dysfunction intumors provides an opportunity for developing a therapeutic strategyusing small molecules. This is based on the proposition thatpharmacologic disruption of an already compromised mitotic checkpointmay selectively sensitize tumors. This observation has led to thehypothesis that inhibition of Mps1 may be of therapeutic benefit.

thereof.

The various functional groups and substituents making up the compoundsof the present invention are typically chosen such that the molecularweight of the compound does not exceed 1000. More usually, the molecularweight of the compound will be less than 750, for example less than 700,or less than 650, or less than 600, or less than 550. More preferably,the molecular weight is less than 525 and, for example, is 500 or less.

Suitable or preferred features of any compounds of the present inventionmay also be suitable features of any other aspect.

A suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of theinvention is, for example, an acid-addition salt of a compound of theinvention which is sufficiently basic, for example, an acid-additionsalt with, for example, an inorganic or organic acid, for examplehydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, trifluoroacetic,formic, citric or maleic acid. In addition a suitable pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt of a compound of the invention which is sufficientlyacidic is an alkali metal salt, for example a sodium or potassium salt,an alkaline earth metal salt, for example a calcium or magnesium salt,an ammonium salt or a salt with an organic base which affords aphysiologically-acceptable cation, for example a salt with methylamine,dimethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine ortris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the natureor sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atomsin space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement oftheir atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers that arenot mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and thosethat are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed“enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, itis bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible.An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of itsasymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules ofCahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates theplane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory orlevorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiralcompound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixturethereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers iscalled a “racemic mixture”.

The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetriccenters; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or(S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise,the description or naming of a particular compound in the specificationand claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers andmixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for thedetermination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers arewell-known in the art (see discussion in Chapter 4 of “Advanced OrganicChemistry”, 4th edition J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 2001),for example by synthesis from optically active starting materials or byresolution of a racemic form. Some of the compounds of the invention mayhave geometric isomeric centres (E- and Z-isomers). It is to beunderstood that the present invention encompasses all optical,diastereoisomers and geometric isomers and mixtures thereof that possessMps1 kinase inhibitory activity.

The present invention also encompasses compounds of the invention asdefined herein which comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. Forexample, H may be in any isotopic form, including ¹H, ²H(D), and ³H (T);C may be in any isotopic form, including ¹²C, ¹³C, and ¹⁴C; and O may bein any isotopic form, including ¹⁶O and ¹⁸O; and the like.

It is also to be understood that certain compounds of the invention mayexist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms such as, for example,hydrated forms. It is to be understood that the invention encompassesall such solvated forms that possess Mps1 kinase inhibitory activity.

It is also to be understood that certain compounds of the invention mayexhibit polymorphism, and that the invention encompasses all such formsthat possess Mps1 kinase inhibitory activity.

Compounds of the invention may exist in a number of different tautomericforms and references to compounds of the invention include all suchforms. For the avoidance of doubt, where a compound can exist in one ofseveral tautomeric forms, and only one is specifically described orshown, all others are nevertheless embraced by compounds of theinvention. Examples of tautomeric forms include keto-, enol-, andenolate-forms, as in, for example, the following tautomeric pairs:keto/enol (illustrated below), imine/enamine, amide/imino alcohol,amidine/amidine, nitroso/oxime, thioketone/enethiol, andnitro/aci-nitro.

Compounds of the invention containing an amine function may also formN-oxides. A reference herein to a compound of the formula I thatcontains an amine function also includes the N-oxide. Where a compoundcontains several amine functions, one or more than one nitrogen atom maybe oxidised to form an N-oxide. Particular examples of N-oxides are theN-oxides of a tertiary amine or a nitrogen atom of a nitrogen-containingheterocycle. N-Oxides can be formed by treatment of the correspondingamine with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a per-acid(e.g. a peroxycarboxylic acid), see for example Advanced OrganicChemistry, by Jerry March, 4^(th) Edition, Wiley Interscience, pages.More particularly, N-oxides can be made by the procedure of L. W. Deady(Syn. Comm. 1977, 7, 509-514) in which the amine compound is reactedwith m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA), for example, in an inertsolvent such as dichloromethane.

The compounds of the invention may be administered in the form of apro-drug which is broken down in the human or animal body to release acompound of the invention. A pro-drug may be used to alter the physicalproperties and/or the pharmacokinetic properties of a compound of theinvention. A pro-drug can be formed when the compound of the inventioncontains a suitable group or substituent to which a property-modifyinggroup can be attached. Examples of pro-drugs include in vivo cleavableester derivatives that may be formed at a carboxy group or a hydroxygroup in a compound of the invention and in-vivo cleavable amidederivatives that may be formed at a carboxy group or an amino group in acompound of the invention.

Accordingly, the present invention includes those compounds of theformula I as defined hereinbefore when made available by organicsynthesis and when made available within the human or animal body by wayof cleavage of a pro-drug thereof. Accordingly, the present inventionincludes those compounds of the formula I that are produced by organicsynthetic means and also such compounds that are produced in the humanor animal body by way of metabolism of a precursor compound, that is acompound of the formula I may be a synthetically-produced compound or ametabolically-produced compound.

A suitable pharmaceutically acceptable pro-drug of a compound of theformula I is one that is based on reasonable medical judgement as beingsuitable for administration to the human or animal body withoutundesirable pharmacological activities and without undue toxicity.

An in vivo cleavable ester or ether ofa compound of the formula I containing a hydroxy group is, for example,a pharmaceutically acceptable ester or ether which is cleaved in thehuman or animal body to produce the parent hydroxy compound. Suitablepharmaceutically acceptable ester forming groups for a hydroxy groupinclude inorganic esters such as phosphate esters (includingphosphoramidic cyclic esters). Further suitable pharmaceuticallyacceptable ester forming groups for a hydroxy group includeC₁₋₁₀alkanoyl groups such as acetyl, benzoyl, phenylacetyl andsubstituted benzoyl and phenylacetyl groups, C₁₋₁₀alkoxycarbonyl groupssuch as ethoxycarbonyl, N,N—(C₁₋₆)₂carbamoyl, 2-dialkylaminoacetyl and2-carboxyacetyl groups. Examples of ring substituents on thephenylacetyl and benzoyl groups include aminomethyl, N-alkylaminomethyl,N,N-dialkylaminomethyl, morpholinomethyl, piperazin-1-ylmethyl and4-(C₁₋₄alkyl)piperazin-1-ylmethyl.

Asstated hereinbefore, the in vivo effects of a compound of the formula Imay also be exerted by way of metabolism of a precursor compound (apro-drug).

It shall also be appreciated that compounds of formula I may also becovalently linked (at any suitable position) to other groups such as,for example, solubilising moieties (for example, PEG polymers), moietiesthat enable them to be bound to a solid support (such as, for example,biotin-containing moieties), and targeting ligands (such as antibodiesor antibody fragments).

Synthesis

In the description of the synthetic methods described below and in thereferenced synthetic methods that are used to prepare the staringmaterials, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions,including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature,duration of the experiment and workup procedures, can be selected by aperson skilled in the art.

It is understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that thefunctionality present on various portions of the molecule must becompatible with the reagents and reaction conditions utilised.

Necessary starting materials may be obtained by standard procedures oforganic chemistry. The preparation of such starting materials isdescribed in conjunction with the following representative processvariants and within the accompanying Examples. Alternatively necessarystarting materials are obtainable by analogous procedures to thoseillustrated which are within the ordinary skill of an organic chemist.

It will be appreciated that during the synthesis of the compounds of theinvention in the processes defined below, or during the synthesis ofcertain starting materials, it may be desirable to protect certainsubstituent groups to prevent their undesired reaction. The skilledchemist will appreciate when such protection is required, and how suchprotecting groups may be put in place, and later removed.

For examples of protecting groups see one of the many general texts onthe subject, for example, ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ byTheodora Green (publisher: John Wiley & Sons). Protecting groups may beremoved by any convenient method described in the literature or known tothe skilled chemist as appropriate for the removal of the protectinggroup in question, such methods being chosen so as to effect removal ofthe protecting group with the minimum disturbance of groups elsewhere inthe molecule.

Thus, if reactants include, for example, groups such as amino, carboxyor hydroxy it may be desirable to protect the group in some of thereactions mentioned herein.

By way of example, a suitable protecting group for an amino oralkylamino group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoylgroup such as acetyl, an alkoxycarbonyl group, for example amethoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl or t-butoxycarbonyl group, anarylmethoxycarbonyl group, for example benzyloxycarbonyl, or an aroylgroup, for example benzoyl. The deprotection conditions for the aboveprotecting groups necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group.Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or alkoxycarbonylgroup or an aroyl group may be removed by, for example, hydrolysis witha suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithiumor sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an acyl group such as atert-butoxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by treatment witha suitable acid as hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid ortrifluoroacetic acid and an arylmethoxycarbonyl group such as abenzyloxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenationover a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon, or by treatment with aLewis acid for example BF₃.OEt₂. A suitable alternative protecting groupfor a primary amino group is, for example, a phthaloyl group which maybe removed by treatment with an alkylamine, for exampledimethylaminopropylamine, or with hydrazine.

A suitable protecting group for a hydroxy group is, for example, an acylgroup, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an aroyl group, forexample benzoyl, or an arylmethyl group, for example benzyl. Thedeprotection conditions for the above protecting groups will necessarilyvary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acylgroup such as an alkanoyl or an aroyl group may be removed, for example,by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide,for example lithium, sodium hydroxide or ammonia. Alternatively anarylmethyl group such as a benzyl group may be removed, for example, byhydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon.

A suitable protecting group for a carboxy group is, for example, anesterifying group, for example a methyl or an ethyl group which may beremoved, for example, by hydrolysis with a base such as sodiumhydroxide, or for example a t-butyl group which may be removed, forexample, by treatment with an acid, for example an organic acid such astrifluoroacetic acid, or for example a benzyl group which may beremoved, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such aspalladium-on-carbon.

Resins may also be used as a protecting group.

Biological Activity

The following biological assays may be used to measure thepharmacological effects of the compounds of the present invention.

Measurement of Inhibition of MPS1 Kinase

The enzyme reaction (total volume 10 μl) was carried out in black384-well low volume plates containing full length MPS1 (12.5 nM or 3nM), fluorescent labelled peptide [known as H236, which has thesequence: 5FAM-DHTGFLTEYVATR-CONH₂] (5 μM), ATP (10 μM), either DMSO (1%v/v) or the test compound (in the range 0.25 nM-100 μM in 1% DMSO) andassay buffer (50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), 0.02% NaN₃, 0.01% BSA, 0.1 mMOrthovandate, 10 μM MgCl₂, 1 μM DTT, Roche protease inhibitor). Thereaction was carried out for 60 min at room temperature and stopped bythe addition of buffer (10 μl) containing 20 mM EDTA, 0.05% (v/v)Brij-35, in 0.1M HEPES-buffered saline (Free acid, Sigma, UK). The platewas read on a Caliper EZ reader II (Caliper Life Sciences).

The reader provides a Software package (‘Reviewer’) which converts thepeak heights into % conversion by measuring both product and substratepeak and also allows selection of control well which represent 0% and100% inhibition, respectively. The % inhibition of the compounds iscalculated relative to the means of selected control wells. IC₅₀s aredetermined by testing the compounds at a range of concentrations from0.25 nM-100 μM. The % inhibitions at each concentration are then fittedto a 4 parameter logistic fit:y=(a+((b−a)/(1+((c/x^d))))where a=asym min, b=asym max, c=IC₅₀ and d=hill coefficient

In general, activity possessed by compounds of the formula I, may bedemonstrated in the inhibition assay by an IC₅₀ value of less than 15μM. Suitably compounds have an IC₅₀ value of less than 10 μM, suitablyless than 1 μM, suitably less than 0.1 μM, and suitably less than 0.01μM (i.e. less than 10 nM).

The activities of compounds of the invention in the above assay areshown in the accompanying example section.
